From its beginning Standard Boat builder, Philip Shearer, said, It is our desire to offer a basic boat that includes all the features you want in a high performance towboat but without the excess features that you might not need. With our low overhead cost structure we can offer our customers the necessary components they expect but at a more affordable price.

The Standard Boats engine package is first-rate. Included with the basic boat is Mercury Marines Mercruiser Scorpion 5.7L 335hp engine, the Smartcraft Monitor All-in-One Display, Super Ultra Low Emission with Catalyst, Smartcraft DTS Drive & Shift by Wire and the Mercury Smart Tow Cruise with Launch Control. For an affordable boat this is truly a powerful engine with the right amount of tow torque for efficient pulling power. Additionally, the engine is backed by a 4 year warranty by Mercurys authorized dealer network.

Each boat is carefully hand assembled. The hull, deck and other parts are produced with resin infused composite construction for strength and durability. The hull and deck can be any custom color with premium marine color matched seating for six. The drivers seat is an Attwood Visionaire ventilated seat with open-weave fibers for cool, dry comfort. A convenient flip-open bow hatch offers dry storage and can even hold a 50 quart cooler.

The Boat Being a Nautique guy, I love the classically inspired look; which is quite obviously based off the SN2001. The new wrap and Monster Tower are a real step up from the original white w/reverse tower. The interior of the boat is nice and simple, with good quality vinyl and carpet. The seating arrangement is just like the old boats, which is probably the one thing I would change. I would arrange the rear of the boat to be a bench facing the rider (like the new Nautiques). I told Phil this and he noted it wouldnt be a problem to change if the person buying the boat requested that type of setup. The captains chair was the shiz and Ive never been in a more comfortable one. I loved the single gauge design and the visibility of the gauge was perfect. I understand other have said the location of the gauge or the single gauge design is a problem but I loved it. Driving As expected the boat handles like a dream. It turns on a dime and tracks very straight. The GPS speed control system is great for getting on plane and turning you just pin it and leave it for the entire set. There was no on/off the throttle in the turns, or anything like that. Because the boats design is very narrow, the boat sways a little side to side when the rider cuts hard in/out. Its noticeable, but it doesnt pull you off track and its to be expected with this size boat. With 1500lbs and a 160lb rider, the thing launched on plane with complete ease. The 350 is probably way overkill for the size and weight of the boat but it makes driving it fun! The windshield is low making visibility is great. You probably wouldnt want to bring a lady out that wants to keep her hair nice though. You can easily talk to your rider over the glass during pickups and having the extra visibility definitely outweighed the cabin wind. Wake- We had 1050lbs of sand in the boat; 550 spread across the rear, 250 on either side of the motor housing, and 3 full grown guys up front for a total of right around 1500lbs. I think we could have squeezed another 500lbs in the nose, but much more and youd probably sink her. The wake cleans up nice at around 22mph at 75ft. My buddy rode at 85ft at 24.7mph, with super clean wake on both sides. The boat is not very weight sensitive, we never had to move a person or bag throughout the whole set it stayed clean on both sides the whole time which is SOO nice. As far as size goes, obviously we arent talking about a big boat, so the wake was smaller than Jeff is used to, but he was stoked on its hardness and consistency. It wasnt too steep or two mellow and looked solid from the boat.All in all, this boat is not for everyone if you are looking for massive wake with a boat you can slam with 4K this isnt the boat for you. But for an all around great ride, nice hard wake, reliability (4 year warranty) and great value at under $30K this is hard to beat.
